Project 32…”coasting”. 12/07/10
Coasting. That pretty much sums up how I’ve been feeling and progressing these past few weeks. NOT cruising along with loss after loss like I should be but…
Coasting. Just coasting. You know like driving along that really long stretch of highway that you hate and it seems like you will never get off. Yea that type of coasting.
Lately life has thrown me some serious curve-balls and at this point I’m just trying to fight to stay in the game. Fight for my family, my beliefs and the truth. Weight loss has taken a backseat unfortunately.
The truth right now is that I’ve been stuck at this point where I’m just doing enough not to gain anything back, yet at the same time not enough to lose any. Boo. On. Me.
Also I’ve lost my spark a little teeny tiny bit. Maybe not lost it, it’s still there but was snuffed out and I’m trying to re-ignite the flame. All I have to say about that is thank God for family and amazingly supportive friends who know me. Know what I’m all about and know the person that I truly am.
Okay I’m done now. Thank you for listening to my mini pity party. WITH that in mind it IS my birthday week and I’m only sending out positive, happy vibes the rest of this week! In four days I turn thirty-two and my “Project 32″ really begins!
Here are some new goals for the week:
1. Workout daily.
2. Increase my H2OHHHH consumption.
3. Focus on the blessings in my life and realize once again what a strong person I am.
With all of that said I’m re-committing myself to my journey. Still twenty-five pounds gone since I started and with your help I will once again finish what I set out to do and start cruising along.

Shannon thank you so much for the comment! I definitely need the push and nine months ago when I found mamavation it helped me to lose these first 25! I’m an original “sista” and getting back in the groove is so important! Nice to *meet you!
I’m turning 32 this year too. You are just a couple of months older than me. I know life is getting you down, but what you don’t want to do is completely slack off and then feel guilty about it. You are a thinking and a daydreamer. Someone who loves poetry, etc. You need to stop thinking sometimes cause I think that messes everything up. Turn on the dude part of your brain and stop thinking and start taking some action. Sometimes we can paralyze ourselves if we think about our lives too much. I HATE when that happens to the people I care about. Stop thinking and start doing. Getting up is hard, but the people who spend too much of their time thinking are the ones passed by by the “doers.” Come back and “do” with us, mkay? XXOO
Happy B-day ahead of time! Hmmm, coasting huh? Sounds like a funk to me. I can’t say much besides I love ya loads and I hope 32 is a great year where you’ll revel in your beauty, intelligence, all you offer to the world.
I’m sorry to hear about the curveballs
Keep going! You’ll get there! Happy Early Birthday!
You know… I know that spark is gonna be a burning flame in no time and I am here to cheer you on!
Missed you!! So happy to see you back!
XOXO
So, here’s to a new beginning! I’m here for you. ENJOY your birthday and then KICK BUTT! =)
I know life is tough, so I agree with Leah. You have to stop thinking, you have to just get up and do this. I know that you can, you rock! So do it, or I’m going to come kick your butt!
I am sorry you have lost your spark … but know that you can get it back. You can do this!! Coasting is okay for a while… but now it is time to kick it in to high gear.
